Why isn't there already cards from the nativity scene? Well, going with the Luke John  theme, I made a few cards.

Artifact
"You may place Son of God here. While Son of God is placed here, you may activate up to two artifacts on this one. If deactivated, place contents beneath deck."
Luke 13:15

Sheperds
2/3 Gold Hero, generic, can have up to three per 50 cards.
"May band to Sheperds. Prevent your Luke and John heros from being captured or converted. If banded to another sheperd,  prevent the next evil enhancement this battle."
Luke 2:8

Animals in the Birthplace
8/8 Gold Hero
animal
"Protect your artifacts/fortresses from harm. If you sucsessfully rescue a soul with this character, you are amazing because you worked with a bunch of farm animals and actually killed some evil thing, and you may search your deck/discard pile for up to three enhancements and put them in your hand."
Luke 2:7

Sheperd's Flocks
3/2 Gold Hero
animal
"If your Sheperd attacks, you may start a side battle(an evil character) with this creature.(The sheep could have followed the sheperds) Prevent evil enhancement effects while this character is in battle."
Luke 2:8

Manger is grossly OP as written. One way of balancing it would be:

"You may place Son of God here. While Son of God is placed here, you may activate up to two artifacts on this one. If deactivated, place contents beneath deck."

Shepherds is solid, though the wording would need a bit of cleaning up.

Assuming the animals are jokes.

I assumed Shepherd's Flocks was a joke too. Any Animal Hero needs to have a stipulation that it has no access to Lost Souls. The wording on it is also extremely messy.

"This character can have a side battle if sheperds attacks. This ability remains constant. Prevent evil enhancements that affect your heros during the side battle."

How about this for better wording?

Ok Ok, your version is better.

He was doing Pols idea and changed the ability on his to match the ability on Pols.
